by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shrimp (peeled, deveined, cooked or sautéed)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking shrimp, optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or oregano + basil mix)
  • 1 loaf French bread or 8 slices of thick sandwich bread
  • 4 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp:
    • Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet.
    • Add shrimp, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
    • Cook 3–4 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Remove from heat.
  2. Make Garlic Butter:
    • In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic powder and parsley.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
    • Place a slice (butter side down) in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add a layer of mozzarella and cheddar, then some shrimp.
    • Top with Parmesan (optional) and more cheese.
    • Cover with another slice of bread (butter side up).
  4. Grill:
    • Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
    • Flip carefully, press down slightly, and cook another 3–4 minutes until cheese is melted.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy hot with marinara or ranch dip.

👉 Would you like me to also give you a quick oven-baked version (like garlic bread stuffed with shrimp & cheese), or keep it only as a skillet sandwich?
